Sega is gating a very normal and staple RPG feature behind its premium editions.

    I don’t even do NG+ in these huge games, but now I’m going to skip this one on principle, even though I do like the series. Nope, not going to allow a company to treat me this way.

    There will of course be a lot of people who bend over and take it (or even defend it), but I’d rather replay an older title than encourage this shit.

      Exactly. NG+ doesn’t add any content, it just gives you an alternate way to explore the content you missed.

      I’d pay for an expansion, online access, and maybe additional characters (i.e. different play style in existing content), but not NG+.

        It depends on the game. Japanese devs are notorious for adding new content in NG+ runs. A good example is Armored Core 6 where you can still get new content up to NG++ and the one that takes this to an extreme is Nier Automata where the meat of the game is the NG+ runs.

      Hope you didn’t buy the other ones that did this, it’s not the first one.

      Don’t encourage it by simply not buying the dlc. It’s easy. You obviously don’t notice it.

    I was excited for this game but this pisses me off. This is more egregious than when they locked classes behind DLC for Yakuza Like A Dragon (which was also really bad).

    No, all the yakuza games have done this for years now. It’s not a new decision they made.

      Except they haven’t? Pretty sure both Zero and LAD at the very least didn’t charge for NG+, same with 6. No idea about the Judgement games.

    First the change from brawler to bog standard jrpg combat, now they’re pulling shit like this. Yeah, this series is going downhill fast…
